How Dr.T started their logo design journey

Company name

Quantum Leap Alchemy

Overview

I am a pioneer blazing my own path ahead with big plans and lots of potential. My work involves fusing science and spirit to help people and organizations make quantum leaps in their evolution towards greater sustainability, innovation, and breakthroughs. Why? Because I want to see our world based on a more harmonious system that thrives on synergy, rather than the divided world and outmoded paradigms that we experience today. I am a scientist, public speaker, spiritual teacher, personal growth coach, small business owner, and author ready to launch my new brand that captures this essence and is aiming for high visibility. Being self-employed and a small operation at the moment, my budget is unfortunately limited. Yet, I recognize the value that a good graphic designer brings to the plate. I hope to find and create some synergy here with the designers who enter my logo contest. I've worked with individual designers before and am good at giving detailed feedback.

LET'S CO-CREATE TOGETHER!

The personality I want to get across is one of blending modern science with ancient alchemical technology. I want it to have more of a futuristic look that speaks of transformation or taking a quantum leap forward.

Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

This brand is an umbrella brand that encompasses my platform as a keynote speaker at conferences and other events, the book I am writing, as well as my freelance innovation specialist services. Target audiences include event producers looking for inspirational speakers, technology corporations looking for outside-the-box innovation, science and consciousness community, Noetic Science, alternative medicine industry, and individuals looking to transform their lives and this world.

Requirements

I’d like something that portrays a feel of quantum science, movement, light, and transformation/alchemy

I will be using the following iStockVideo for some of my videos, presentations, and website, and would like to have a logo created that is similar in nature to this look and feel (especially at the 3 second mark in the video, see attached screen shot), yet unique and copyright-able:

Some preferences:
1. 3D rendering would be fabulous
2. No Cartoons
3. I’d love for it to be bright and looking like light, similar to the video, as if peering into an actual atom rather than just a symbolic one. Please feel free to experiment with colors and font styles!
4. Let this be your starting point and then allow your creative genius as a designer to come out.

I'm mostly looking for the central logo image, but if you want to play with putting in the brand name and the tagline as well, here they are:
Company/Brand Name: Quantum Leap Alchemy
Tagline: Accelerate Your Evolution!
